Re: Quick Question

Ah yes. Squirrel brings up a good point, we are required to use a relieving regulator. So not only would this probably be illegal (and "accidently" placing the cylinder near a stalled CIM would be both very unwise and un-GP), it simply wouldn't work.

This regulator has a maximum output pressure of 60psi. This regulator must be placed in-line right after the tanks to limit the pressure to all working circuits to 60psi.
Also, just to cite an actual rule, any extraneous lengths of tubing required to "accidently" route pnumatic lines near heat generating components would probably run afowl of <R01>:
